Maximizing Power Output with Colby
Working with Colby helped me learn more about how to properly train my body to be ready for on field performance. There were certain things he taught me that I would have never thought of, like going palm up with landmine presses. In addition, the importance/learning of how to rotate better in order to maximize my power output.

Working with Colby has benefited my performance and health!
Working with Colby has not only benefited my performance, but my health as well. He looks at every athlete and is able to specifically give them tools that make their individual game better. I use many of the exercises, stretches and thought processes that Colby has given me in my every day routine.

I enjoyed all the new proteus power technology Colby demonstrated that allowed me to see how my body moves and should be moving. Overall, being able to learn new stretches and warm up routines from him to make sure I’m in peak shape/conditions for games has been really beneficial for me.

My son looks forward to going each week and never wants to miss a session with Coach Colby!
“My son has been working with Colby for a little over 9 months now and I can’t recommend him enough!
My son looks forward to going each week and never wants to miss a session with Coach Colby! Every time my son comes in, he is pushed to his limits because Colby believes in him and wants to see him perform at the highest level. Colby is always positive and motivating. I love that the training is safe but challenging.
His strength, speed, jumping, flexibility and eating habits have all improved tremendously since we started. We have seen an instillation of confidence and a greater love for the sports he plays. The amount of personal attention Colby gives to his athletes is unmatched!”

Daughter’s Strength and Conditioning Training
We chose Pease Baseball for our daughter’s strength and conditioning training. We knew Pease Baseball and Colby were great because our son has been there for 3 years. Under the direction of Colby we trust she is receiving professional and knowledgeable instruction. He tailors the workout based on the current sport she is participating in. We have seen a difference in her performance as she is stronger in both of her sports and also has increased her confidence in her own strength. As an added benefit there is a strong mentor relationship between Colby and Maddie that I’m not sure we would have found elsewhere. Maddie looks forward to updating Colby on her track times and stories from track meets. We are so appreciative of Colby at Pease Baseball. He provides a solid foundation for Maddie’s continued growth in her sports.

2023 MD 4A State Champion & Frederick CC Commit
I have been working out at PBP with Colby for over 6 months now and I love the facility and the community. I really appreciate Colby and Dustin and the time they take to work with me and talk with me when I have any questions. I always feel like I’m getting better every time I’m in the facility. Whenever I workout with Colby I always leave with new knowledge and ways to improve my health and performance. I play for Sherwood High School and am a 2023 MD 4A state champion and this is by far the best instruction I have received thanks to Colby and Dustin.
I love the proof that the work is paying off. Feels good to be able to see my progress now and see where it was not that long ago.”
